Creating an SNMP Printer Device Description

Creating a DEVD for a LAN attached SNMP-capable printer gives you additional capabilities and messaging. This video shows you how to create your printer device description as long as you know the printer model, IP address, and the type of print server. It also goes over the changes that need to be made using CHGSNMPA to the *SNMP TCP application to allow SNMPv1 support. By default at 7.5 and above, the default is ALWSNMPV3(*V3ONLY) which does not allow typical *SNMP printer devices to work. This should be changed to ALWSNMPV3(*V3AGENT) or ALWSNMPV3(*YES).
